If you like lone wolf action heroes who have a heart of gold and nine lives, then perhaps you'll like this. Ji Chang Wook is a very compelling reason for giving this drama a try, but the scene-stealer is Song Yoon Ah as Choi Yoo Jin. Yoo Jin is the only character with depth, a sympathetic villain with layers and complicated emotions. The only character who comes close to being her match is Lee Jung Jin as her brother, Choi Sung Won. The political plot is fairly straightforward without too many layers of conspiracy but the drama managed to be entertaining without being predictable. That being said, there were so many disappointing elements that while I don't regret watching it, I don't particularly recommend it.

Aside from Yoo Jin, every other character is so poorly developed. While Ji Chang Wook's Kim Je Ha starts off as a promising character, he ends up with only two defining characteristics: the ability to win a fight against all odds and a tendency for saving/falling in love with the damsel in distress. Yikes. Aside from the reason he seeks revenge, he's given little backstory. His relationship with Yoo Jin is complicated and intriguing, and showed SO MUCH POTENTIAL, but it all went away when he suddenly fell in love with Anna. I can understand if they slowly built a friendship and fell in love as they got to know each other but that's not what happens. What do they even know about each other?

Even on her own, Anna's character is so flimsy. The relationship with Je Ha aside, her character could've been 10 years younger and had the same storyline. What has her life been like all these years? All we see are glimpses of her running away, but was she educated? Was she allowed to have hobbies? It didn't make any sense. (Compare her character to the main character in Graceful Family, who is sent away for years and heavily watched/guarded.)

Choi Yoo Jin's husband, the congressman, had a shockingly small role. I would have liked to see him make some of his own decisions as well as the backstory of how they met. Also, the JSS agents seemed so inept compared to Je Ha, which I always find unbelievable, but ESPECIALLY Mi Ran. I cannot believe that after making a huge mistake, Mi Ran didn't lose her job. She was the World's Worst Bodyguard, from beginning to end, and while her personality was meant for some comic relief, I just found it annoying. The most under-utilized character with potential might've been Chief Kim though. She was fierce and loyal, but we never learn why.

I really liked the ending theme song though - Today by Kim Bo Hyung.
